It seems hypocritical to tell grown men they can’t have beards, they can’t wear two chains, but they do have to wear see-through pants.
Also, when is it officially a beard? Does that pre-pubescent scruff on Justin Steele’s face count?
Pearl necklaces are right out!
"Mattingly! I thought I told you to trim those sideburns!"
The only two teams that will not do a City Connect jersey: Yankees and Athletics.
In my business, shaving was obligatory, and gold chains, had they ever been worn, would have been scorned. I think the beards and gold chains are entirely about getting people's attention, which is what most if not all adolescents do. And let's not forget all the hand waving, etc whenever anyone gets a hit. Look at me, look at me, look at me. I accept all that because it's now part of the game, but I don't think any of it makes the game better.
I do, however, have the sneaking suspicion that MLB likes the gyrations, the beards, the jewelry, etc because they hope it will increase attendance and/or viewership.
“Still like him better than Steinbrenner.”
That does make sense.
The Yankee pinstripes are already one of the most iconic uniforms in all of American sports.
And it would be a slap in the face for the A’s to make a City Connect uniform while they’re in the process of disconnecting from Oakland…
Ewwww
Real baseball died the day the high five was created. Can't even take a family to see a kids game anymore!
There are other iconic MLB uniforms.
In any case, not sure what it would have to do with electing not to ever wear the City Connect jerseys.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
What is the purpose of City Connect uniforms?
And as much as I don’t like it, Yankee pinstripes really are the most famous uniform in MLB…
City Connect jerseys showcase the vibrant and distinct culture of their team and their city.

The purpose of the City Connects is to sell more team apparel/caps on the basis that it relates to the city specifically , not just the baseball team. You never see the team name on a City Connect, only the city name.
That makes sense.
